It follows the adventures of four anthropomorphic animals—Mole, Rat, Badger, and the reckless Mr. Toad—in the English countryside. The story explores friendship, adventure, and the clash between rural tranquility and modern progress. Toad’s obsession with motorcars leads to trouble, including imprisonment and daring escapes. Meanwhile, his friends try to guide him toward wisdom. Grahame’s lyrical prose and vivid descriptions create a timeless tale celebrating nature, camaraderie, and the joys of a simple life.
